Effect of soda on Eggshell strength




Broad Question

How does soda effect eggs.

Specific Question

Does soda type effect egg shell strength

Hypothesis

It is hypothesized that coke will have the greatest effect on the egg shell strength.

Variables

Independent Variable:

soda type

Dependent Variable:egg shell strength


Variables That Need To Be Controlled: time and temperature


Vocabulary List That Needs Explanation






General Plan

The eggs will be placed in the soda for 24 hours. then the eggs will be tested for how many kilograms it can hold without breaking.

Potential Problems And Solutions

egg may break or crack while in soda- no solution

Safety Or Environmental concerns

egg shells may break and be sharp. egg insides can cause sicknesses


Experimental Design

6 eggs will be placed in the soda for 24 hours. 3 eggs for each soda type.

Resources and Budget Table.

Coke:3.00$ Sprite: 3.00$ a dozen eggs: 2.00$

Time Line

Last week of march do tests. second week of April type stuff up. 3rd week of April put everything together.

Detailed Procedure

1. Place 6 eggs in separate containers.
2. Fill three containers with coke and three containers with sprite.
3. Let them sit for 32 hours
4. Place the eggs one by one into separate cups
5.Take a cup and place it in the cup on top of the cup.
6. Slowly add weights or objects.
7. Measure the objects it took to break the egg in grams.
8. Add the grams together

Data Analysis


Conclusion

Sprite has less of a effect on eggshell strength than Coke. The Coke weakened the eggshell strength a lot. The Sprite barely weakened the eggshell strength.Soda effects eggshell strength





Discussion

There were multiple trends in this data. Time was the most important variable in the eggshell strength.The Specific question was answered very thoroughly. The only problems that occurred were cracks or deficiency's in the eggshell. an egg is the same color as a tooth. The experiment could show the effects that could happen when a someone drinks soda. The experiment could be advanced by using some type of more high tech force measuring system.


Abstract

Does soda type effect eggshell strength? The hypothesis was that the egg submerged in coke will break sooner. The eggs were placed in the soda for 32 hours. Then the eggs were tested for how many grams it can hold without breaking.There were multiple trends in this data. Time was the most important variable in the eggshell strength.The Specific question was answered very thoroughly.
